Tucked away on a quiet dead-end street just minutes from downtown Des Moines. This thoughtfully designed 2-bed, 2-bath ranch blends mid-century modern style with todays comfort and efficiency. Built in 2008, the home offers nearly 1,700 SF of light-filled living space with hardwood and tile floors, modern cabinetry, a gas range, and a commercial-size fridge/freezer. Soaring south-facing windows overlook historic Woodland Cemetery creating a peaceful, almost rural, feel in the heart of the city. The expansive 3-car heated garage (1,238 SF) provides room for vehicles, hobbies, and even entertaining! This perfect "man-cave" features an additional overhead door which opens to a private, fenced half-acre yard with dual patios and hot tub. Energy efficiency is front and center with geothermal heating and cooling, passive solar design, and whole-house air exchange. The rec-room finished basement includes two egress windows and is pre-plumbed for a bathroom and wet bar/kitchen. It's ready for future expansion, but fully functional as-is. Thoughtful extras include central vacuum with outlets in both the home and garage, a separate water meter for yard irrigation, dual 200-amp electrical panels, and soffit outlets for holiday lighting. This is a unique, one-of-a-kind property offering privacy, character, and convenience. Truly a rare find!
